The Green Bay Packers defence has taken another hit.
Veteran defensive tackle Javon Hargrave is out for the season with a torn Achilles, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Monday.
Hargrave was hurt late in the fourth quarter of the Packers' 31-7 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
Head coach Matt LaFleur said after the game that Hargrave was believed to have an Achilles tendon injury, a fear that was confirmed Monday.
Hargrave, 33, was in his first season with the Packers after spending last year with the Minnesota Vikings. He had six tackles over four appearances with Green Bay.
The 150-game NFL veteran has also suited up for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers, racking up 438 tackles and 49 sacks.
Green Bay also lost star linebacker Edgerrin Cooper to a torn Achilles last week.
